Indonesia arrests JI suicide squad suspects
2004-08-24
Indonesian police have arrested three men suspected of being members of a suicide squad belonging to the Al Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiah (JI) regional terrorist network, a senior officer has said. Police anti-terror squad chief Brigadier General Pranowo said the three were among five people arrested last month over suspicion of involvement in the 2002 Bali bombings and an attack on the Jakarta Marriott hotel in 2003. "We are currently in the process of investigating them, but we suspect that three of them are members of a special suicide squad of the JI," Brig Pranowo told AFP. He said the men were seized during raids in the cities of Solo and Surabaya on Java Island and were trained to conduct bombings anywhere their leaders ordered them to. He declined to give names or further details, saying it could harm the current police investigations.
